WORD Research this...Sirach 26
- 1 Happy is the husband of a good wife: for the number of his years is double.
- 2 A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.
- 3 A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds.
- 4 Rich or poor, if his heart is good, his countenance shall be cheerful at all times.
- 5 Of three things my heart hath been afraid, and at the fourth my face hath trembled:
- 6 The accusation of a city, and the gathering together of the people:
- 7 And a false calumny, all are more grievous than death.
- 8 A jealous woman is the grief and mourning of the heart.
- 9 With a jealous woman is a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.
- 10 As a yoke of oxen that is moved to and fro, so also is a wicked woman: he that hath hold of her, is as he that taketh hold of a scorpion.
- 11 A drunken woman is a great wrath: and her reproach and shame shall not be hid.
- 12 The fornication of a woman shall be known by the haughtiness of her eyes and by her eyelids.
- 13 On a daughter that turneth not away herself, set a strict watch: lest finding an opportunity she abuse herself.
- 14 Take heed of the impudence of her eyes, and wonder not if she slight thee.
- 15 She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller to the fountain, and will drink of every water near her, and will sit down by every hedge, and open her quiver against every arrow, until she fail.
- 16 The grace of a diligent woman shall delight her husband, and shall fat his bones.
- 17 Her discipline is the gift of God.
- 18 Such is a wise and silent woman, and there is nothing so much worth as a well instructed soul.
- 19 A holy and shamefaced woman is grace upon grace.
- 20 And no price is worthy of a continent soul.
- 21 As the sun when it riseth to the world in the high places of God, so is the beauty of a good wife for the ornament of her house.
- 22 As the lamp shining upon the holy candlestick, so is the beauty of the face in a ripe age,
- 23 As golden pillars upon bases of silver, so are the firm feet upon the soles of a steady woman.
- 24 As everlasting foundations upon a solid rock, so the commandments of God in the heart of a holy woman.
- 25 At two things my heart is grieved, and the third bringeth anger upon me.
- 26 A man of war fainting through poverty, and a man of sense despised:
- 27 And he that passeth over from justice to sin, God hath prepared such an one for the sword.
- 28 Two sorts of callings have appeared to me hard and dangerous: a merchant is hardly free from negligence: and a huckster shall not be justified from the sins of the lips.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
